42. To Dindymus

So soft on your cheeks is the shadowy down
That it fades with a breath in the breeze or the sun.
Such a delicate bloom as on quinces oft lingers
That shine when they're plucked by a maiden's soft fingers.
And if too repeated my kisses I press
On your lips, a new beard springs up from my caress.
